“…Is a message of tenacity, courage, bravery and pants. Yes, you heard me, this book teaches us to fly away from the nest, of which we all are used to, because we feel safe.

Thank you Monica very much for giving us through your books, a little encouragement in these difficult times”.

"Her reflections and messages are undoubtedly the result of much introspection, meditation, and her commitment to the practice of peace. She seeks to convey a positive view of the world, people and events in daily life, as the concrete and real expressions of spiritual life."

Her book “Flying Faraway” published in 2011 in English and Spanish and dedicated to our youth, recounts the experiences of a Sparrow and a girl, who experience profound life lessons during her interaction with her little friend.

Part of the proceeds from the sales of “Flying Faraway” are donated to the nonprofit institution “Big Brothers Big Sisters”.
